Chapter 231 Companions
Bang--
With one side on the ring falling to the ground with a loud bang, this one-sided crushing "play" finally came to an end.
Lulton slowly withdrew his hand, but his eyes on the crowd below the stage suddenly darkened.
……No.
There was no sign of Lu Yi anywhere.
Lulton jumped off the ring and asked the henchman, "Where's my brother?"
The little follower said tremblingly: "Chief Saman came just now, and the two of them talked about something, and then left together."
"Did my brother ask you to bring a message to me?"
The little follower trembled even more violently, "No, no..."
Just when the little follower thought that Lulton was going to get furious, Lulton instead gave a sweet and gentle smile.
"It doesn't matter." Lulton smiled, "It's always like this, isn't it? He has so many things to do, and everything comes before me. I'm used to it."
He just walked out of the castle, not walked to his side.
But it doesn't matter.
If he could walk out of the castle, he could go to Lu Yi, and be the closest and most inseparable from him.
He just needs a little time.
…
“…”
"How far has this matter spread?" Lu Yi asked in a low voice.
Saman's expression was not optimistic, and he answered simply: "At present, only the association and some imperial royal families know about it, but within three days, the entire Isaiah continent, from the kings and nobles to the common people and slaves, will know this news. We are running out of time.
"Urgent?" Lu Yi smiled bitterly, "Do we really have the so-called time?"
Under such circumstances, let alone three days, even if it was seven days or half a month, they would not be able to do anything.
The two stopped talking and soon came to the conference room on the top floor.
In the conference room, except for the first-year students, all the other prefects and chairmen were present. The principal of Bryside and the deans and professors of several colleges were also sitting on the sofas and recliners in front of the French windows.
It is not common to see a full-scale deployment like this.
"Okay, now everyone is here." The principal straightened up from the recliner, and his usually kind eyes behind the glasses seemed surprisingly sharp.
Lu Yi didn't sit down, but just leaned on the back of his chair.
"Originally this is just a matter for the college, you just need to send a student representative to the North Campus for a meeting.
"But then I thought again, maybe in a situation like this that could affect the survival of the empire behind each of you, I should call all of you to hold this meeting again. You are students of Braceside, but you are also subjects under the protection of your country.
“Since you enjoy the support of all people, you must take responsibility for all people.”
As the principal spoke, he looked around at all the students present. Some looked at him, while others avoided his gaze.
"There are two gaps in the entire territory of Katifan, one is located in the south not far from Katifan City-State, and the other is located in the northern suburbs. The first gap to be sealed and dissolved by the Holy See was the one in the northern suburbs.
"Perhaps because they knew they couldn't hide it, the Church didn't take any blocking measures. We easily captured the scene at that time. The twelve bishops, led by Pope Callisto, were heading towards the thirteen-point light array. We deduced the positions of the thirteen array eyes, but the runes of the super-grade array could not be captured specifically, and the medium was distorted and could not be detected. More conjectures can only be confirmed by seeing them with our own eyes..."
Yieta thought for a moment and asked, "What does the principal mean?"
"The school has already negotiated with the Vatican. Tomorrow afternoon the Pope will bring people to close the Braceside gap, right at the gap in front of the school gate. Anyone who has any ideas can come and take a look." The principal said frankly.
“Perhaps it is extremely difficult to decipher the complete magic circle, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, we must give it a try.
"As for whether you want to stay in Bryside or leave school temporarily after tomorrow's end, it is your personal choice. The school will not interfere... You just need to know that the school respects every choice you make."
The principal of Bryside, a humorous and lovely elder, showed his signature friendly smile and looked around at the students again. But this time, his gaze no longer seemed to be trying to understand their thoughts, but seemed to be simply to see their appearance.
People are like countless intersecting straight lines, and they all end up running in their own directions. Perhaps at some point, without either party realizing it, they have seen each other for the last time, and will never meet again in the rest of their lives.
…
That night, Lu Yi indeed received a call from Klein Manor.
As he had anticipated this, Lu Yi was not surprised to hear Duke Klein urging him to return to New Victory, and he quickly finalized the itinerary to depart the next day.
Returning to a new victory is almost inevitable. Lu Yi Klein is the main force in repelling monsters. He is also a wizard of light who is so talented that even the Holy See has to personally invite him. He is indispensable in the current situation.
Sealing the Breach—What exciting news!
The new victorious empire, which was deeply troubled by the gap, could not remain indifferent. Even if this was a conspiracy of the Holy See, it had to grit its teeth and swallow it.
However, based on the number of gaps in the New Victory, if the Holy See really resolved all of them, the cost of 10 million gold coins per gap would inevitably cause the New Victory Empire to suffer serious damage and become weak. This was obviously something that the Victor royal family did not want to see.
A natural disaster may change the strength of the entire Isaiah continent.
Lu Yi sighed silently, turned around and fell asleep.
I hope it will be nice weather tomorrow.
The next day was a sunny day.
In summer, Braeside is full of lush green.
After searching the library for half a morning without any results, Lu Yi silently jumped onto a big tree, lay on the thick branches and imagined himself as just a leaf to clear his mind.
The leaves didn't have time to relax for long before an uninvited guest slowly walked over from not far away.
Lu Yi caught a glimpse of the visitor out of the corner of his eye, but still acted as if he saw nothing, his eyes fixed vaguely on the front.
Callisto, with her platinum hair tied loosely behind her head, was not annoyed at all. She raised her head slightly and looked at Lu Yi on the branch.
"Lu Yi." He called in a gentle tone.
Lu Yi could no longer pretend that he didn't see it, so he slowly raised his body half to the side, resting his chin with one hand, and looked down at His Holiness the Pope.
"Your Majesty," he responded distantly.
Lu Yi's hair had grown very long without him noticing, with a head full of bright golden strands reaching his shoulders. The bright midday sun shone on him through the shadows of the leaves, and flickering spots of light and shadows intertwined on the edges of his hair.
Only his facial features were completely in the dark shadow of the backlight, but despite this, his azure blue eyes still seemed to contain a shimmering light.
Callisto just looked up at him for a long moment.
Neither side spoke.
In this not-uncomfortable silence, Callisto was the first to speak: "Would you like a sip of osmanthus wine?"
Lu Yi raised his eyebrows slightly: "It seems that it is not the season of osmanthus yet."
Callisto smiled and said, "But sweet-scented osmanthus wine is available all year round."
"So you want a sip?" Callisto reached out and shook the exquisite wooden bottle in his hand.
Lu Yi stared at his motionless expression and movements for a few seconds, then suddenly smiled and responded, "Okay, since Your Majesty has invited me so warmly, I can't spoil your fun."
Lu Yi turned over and sat steadily beside Callisto.
Callisto's smile became more genuine, and he sat down on the floor in the same casual manner.
"Lu Yi, do you believe it? You are actually the only person I can sit anywhere and have a drink with."
Lu Yi did not deny it, but the expression on his face already showed his answer.
"At least in this matter, I have no need to deceive you." Callisto said, "In the past, I didn't have the time and mentality to do this. Now I have it, but I can't find a companion to share it with."
Companion? Lu Yi never thought that one day he would hear this word from Callisto. He was somewhat unable to react. He tilted his head and looked at Callisto quietly while sipping the osmanthus wine in his hand.
Callisto seemed touched by his cuteness. He chuckled and said jokingly, "What's wrong? Do you feel that the image of His Holiness the Pope has collapsed? How come the number one person in the Holy See still needs a companion..."
"No, it has nothing to do with the Holy See or the Pope's identity. It's just that sometimes, I think Callisto doesn't need a so-called companion... I hope my thoughts don't offend you."
"Why do you have such an idea?" Callisto said with an unchanged expression and a smile.
"Intuition," Lu Yi replied, "Just like wild animals walking alone and cattle and sheep traveling in groups, companions may only be a fleeting thought in the occasional leisure moment, but most of the time, sufficiently strong underlying logic and self-consistent cognition are what constitute being alone."
Callisto was noncommittal. “That sounds like a high compliment.”
"Yes." Lu Yi affirmed.
"Only a strong person can focus completely on himself, and in my opinion, Callisto is such a person."
"You know Callisto very well," Callisto said firmly.
Lu Yi shook his head, "Is this a false compliment? Maybe I am just showing off my skills in front of an expert."
After all, who can understand the parties better than the parties themselves?
After all, what Lu Yi could see was only what Callisto wanted him to see.
"No, in fact I really think so. There was even a moment when I thought that if you were born earlier, you could become my companion." Callisto said seriously.
Lu Yi blinked and didn't respond.
Become Callisto's companion?
——Sorry, he seems to be unable to imagine such a scene.
Callisto didn't care and continued to ask: "Since you know Callisto so well, you must know why he came to you, right?"
"I don't know." Lu Yi said confidently, "I've already said that I'm just showing off my skills in front of an expert. How can I know why His Holiness the Pope would come to me, an idler, at such a critical moment?"
The author has something to say:
Some testing conversations between the chickens and the ducks
Callisto: I want him to join us!
Lu Yi: I want to get the secret recipe for the seal!
I went back home a few days ago and I couldn’t write an update without my computer (kneel down gently)
I must write well and update every other day.
